img2ascii

A command‑line utility written in C reads an image file and produces an ASCII representation using a configurable set of characters. Users specify the input path, optional output file, desired output width, and can choose to print the result to the console, reverse the character ordering, or supply a custom character string. The tool supports PNG, JPEG, and BMP formats and has been verified on Windows 11 and Linux Mint 22.

The program is built from source with a simple make workflow, requiring only a clone of the repository and a make command. Its interface follows a conventional option syntax, making it straightforward for developers and scripting environments to integrate image‑to‑text conversion into pipelines or terminal‑based workflows.
